  • i guess im a really proastinating procrastinator hahaa

    long long time didnt write stuff liao. now i shall write abt my experience following my mom around her job. (:

    my mom's a property agent (nicely: real estate agent) yay! its a pretty fun job considering u mett a lot of kinds of ppl--nasty and nice la.

    i met a few of her clients, if not all. haha they all have very different personalities. there was one family--a british indian family-- they were funny. they were friendly and didnt see me as a threat to their personal private space. unlike some others. hahaa but the agent on the other side was really weird. her make up was like those premade kinds u can find in the pharmacy, u noe those tt u jus peel the sheet off then put to ur eye kind then okay. haha yeah but i could tell she was the kind who didnt really like the idea of strangers. the kind who likes familiarity. there was another one who was so uhh delicate? fragile? she seemed like the kind who could be trampled on easily. i felt so sad for her and wished i could jus give her a bootie and tell her to PLEASE BUCK UP! aiyo. my dear fren jill gives me tt kind of feeling too. MUST WAKE UP SIA!

    yeah then two days ago i went to see the unit at ehh Lor Sarhad. we were waiting for the agent to come. then i saw this woman and indian man. they looked at me, then put the key into the unit 45 and went in. then i told my mom maybe it was them hahaha. but she said 49. so okay.. in the end we went into the 45 one. there was aircon inside and a very smokey smell u noe the kind u smell on a smoker. the agent was busy doing smthg and she told the client 'go and see the bedrooms lah'

    my mom then commented 'isnt it unit 49?' and she so blatantly said 'no, its 45 lah' then my mom called the owner and the owner talked to the other agent. then the agent suddenly jumped and screamed for the client to get out of the unit hahaha. and we all had to evac!! haaha those poor fellows sleeping inside must hav had a great big shock if they saw us!

    the funny thing was tt, the key could also fit into unit 49!! lol it was so weird sia! hahaha omgoodness imagine if we fit it into all the doors and if it works?? it would be a skeleton key!! damn weird la hahahaha. in the end the indian client left. i think he didnt really like the idea of living in a place where u could use ur key to get into ur neighbours' house!! hahaahaha. (: goodness. luckily they were sleeping (if not doing smthg else in their bedrooms) while we were there. if not we would have been prosecuted for tresspassing! hahaha

    and for the nasty ppl. u can really get really nasty ones. esp those who cancel the term on the no refund on commision in time when the tenant does not fulfil the contract, and cancelling the term on giving the agent extra accorded commision should the tenant extends the contract. somemore this woman whom i met after mths still hasnt signed the agreement on the commision, picking on faults like 'i dun want this option on I/We the landlord(s).' this is so ridiculous la. she wanted it to be pure 'I' and no 'we' and demanded we printed a new form. wadd la. then somemore she said oh cant sign because i need to let it get vetted by my lawyer. rubbish la. okay im starting to dislike her though maybe, jus maybe, she likes me. nehhh weird sticky situation. now my mom her company and the other agent are having a poor relationship among themselves. till now still no commision la. haiyo. too bad lor have to work with not-so-illiterate yet not-so-literate people.... :S hope everything will end well la.

    okay now im not in a very creative mood but well cant be helped. quite sleepy alr. on a side note: maybe everyone shud watch this art film on the triplets singers. its really good! (: yepp.

    cya soon! matane!

  • I'm Back! お帰りなさい!

    こんばんわ! 久しぶりに!

    Yeah, im back finally (after the long wait?)

    Yesterday i tried to LOG in to BLOG (hahahaha) but then dunno why it jus kept failing. Actually wanted to grieve abt having to write all the SL thingies, but anw i guess i dun want to now hahaha.

    This past month was a rather eventful month for me. Quite interesting I would say. Where should I start?

    Ok in September (yes, i do realise its october alr), I signed up to be Friends of the Library. Signed up for some volunteer stuff like sculpting balloons for small kids. Haha, it was such a quirky situation there. I was sitting there with my buddies, and giving out the balloons that we made to these small kiddiwinks. The weird thing was that, 40% of the kids in the queue actuallly addressed me as 'Auntie', and you read in in the right way. Not the nice pronunciation by the Brits, but the kind that we usually use to call those sweeping the floorboards, sellig vegetables kind of 'Auntie'. WAHH, so shocking. All three of us sitting there were all young yuppies, and they just called us Aunties. So amusing. And the moment their parents corrected them, they had this expression 'what did i say wrong? ive been a good boy/girl wad, i addressed them alr mah' kind. HAHAHA

    And thinking I hadnt done enough service, the next day I went to P. Ubin for cip. The jobscope was actually to maintain the greenhouse and do some gardening. But while we were there, there was this young Indian boy whose name I think I might mispell so i wont say who who entertained us by teaching us how to play the 'transport the marbles' game haha, cant recall the name alr. neh! He was quite a funny person. Anw, according to some sources, he and his dad made trips down to ubin to hang around and relax. But the day ended off in such a way tt I was left with a rather stained impression of the dad. He has gone drinking with the greenhouse man to entertain some potential investors, and after the meeting, his eyes were slightly bloodshot, and he was slurring a little in his speech. So i got worried. And decided. To. Avoid. Him. Seriously he was scary la, suddenly became so friendly I didnt noe wad else to do but display my teeth and then pretend to busy myself with my handphone. Burrrrr.

    Yeah, this month was the month where we got notice of which options classes we got into. September 30th, teachers day. That was the day I went to see the teacher in charge rgdg my options. Apparently, I was booted out of the system. So my votes never got registered, not even my name. The teacher was wondering who was missing from the school of 482. And there I stood in front of him to clear his curiosity. He told me there were only the leftovers for me to choose from, and I was really crestfallen la. I was thinking of those options, hmm not convenient to say in case of offence. (HINT: But offence is an option) Yeah i bet you got it. Yeah that subject-related topic. So i was feeling dejected, but asked for the list anw. Then the teacher took out the list and told me, 'ok, i got you a place in med bio.....' then i was shocked hahahaha. pleasantly surprised. And when going thru the options list, he told me there was the hollywood history option so i was over the moon. Heh?? i jus realised smthg quite queer. Crestfallen & over the moon. both give me the impression of the crescent moon hahaha somehow. yeah so i chose these 2 and no choice had to take up narr film. so i went away feet as ligt as a butterfly's. hahaha too many descriptors.

    Then later in the day the teacher sent me an email to tell me tt the hollywood one was full so had to choose from another prepared list. And so i deliberated over the matter for a few long days before sending in my choices. so tts how i ended up in the classes im in. hahaha.

    Some people describe me as 'CRAZY arh you?', cos i took up 4 options classes. but i was not very comfortable with going thru days of potential boredom, so i decided, 'join another sci--learn aerodynamics' so i pleaded with the teacher again to give me entry into the physics class, and i got in hurray!! (: now the things i look forwards to are med bio, phy of ph(light) and film as an art. yay!

    for Phy of flight, we went for an outing to NTU, and we had a great time there. the people were friendly (most surprisingly-- i always thot physicists were boring people), except for 2 people, one funny accented person and another guy whom i guess had been cooped up in his lab for long hours with no company. the latter was rather strange. but pitiful. stored away in that lab, busy researching on titanium rods that have memory-- means the rods u can bend into funny shapes, then dip it in boiling water, and TOING it flips back into shape, good as new. his hands were shivering away when he held up the model for us to see, but he held it so gently like some precious object that i was rather amused as it was only PVC. But still, he's really pitiful. And after tt visit, I think I vowed not to become a researcher. HAHA (:

    At the end of the visit, my fren and i went to look for the loo. following the signs, you noe the normal kind that shows a red woman and a blue man, we walked into this alley thingy. We passed the males', then the handicaps', then always rammed into a wall because we thot there was one more. But there was none. So I dashed into the handicaps' and wished gdluck to my fren. hahahaha. eh cant blame me-- nature was calling me so loudly i couldnt go against her. hahaha (: i figured that in NTU 80% or less are not females and so tts the way it is lor, so save money for toilet. hahaha. yeah and so after doing stuff tt u do in the toilet, i was scrubbing my hands under the tap. And being a ADHD person, i was looking around the toilet to see anything interesting. Well the handdrier was really nice, the polished-so-well kinds you can find in high end hotels and shopping malls. think its brand is Rigel? Anw I was thinking 'so tts where the money goes into' and then i looked the other way. There was this bright red button beside the flusher button, but it was located lower on the wall. it was calling out to me, 'press me.... press me...' so i decided to jus rick it and push it. i was expecting the flush to be flushed, but then suddenly there was this loud screeching alarm tt was sounded, and it kept ringing. wahh my ears were shattering soon. Acting on instincts, i repressed the button and holding my mandible up to my maxilla (eh im using my bio in real life okay) i hoped for it to go away, AND IT DID! hahahaa. then when i came out, my dear fren was covering her ears. poor thingo. im sorry. hhahahaha but it was fun hahaha. the man outside didnt seem to mind my pressing of the button. so cool la! haahhahaa.

    ok i think i shall stop here. rambling on will not do. if it is interesting say smthg to encourage me so i'll update. :D like mr ong said, the best time to stop a game is when you see everyone enjoying it so much. ahhahahaa. ok nice thinking sire!!

    じゃあね!

  • what's up with today's cashiers??

    most dun even respect customer rights anymore. wadever happened to the phrase 'the customer is ALWAYS RIGHT'? down the rubbish chute i guess.

    the most obvious disrespect is towards us, the young. they think they're older and so they dun give a shit abt us. they scold you passively and sarcastically. oh im soo soo sorry if you get fired.. who cares abt u anyway. my mom said she would call them up tmr and complain, and i considered her being fired and her family getting all edgy.

    but then i thot again, this world is cruel. there is no such thing as mercy. even mercy comes at a cost, or at the benefit of the benefactor. for eg a person who gives u stuff and makes u think theyre kind and all. and later a few days later, they tell u to do something for them (to repay the favour). this is soo political. yuck. disgusting.

    and backt o the pt of the cashiers. they try to be ever soo nice to expats and ppl of pink skin. yeah. im talking abt the foreigners. i think we're like still living in the colonial times or wad? this is so weird. compared with china, china doesnt really welcome them. they dun see them as superior. and anw wad makes them so much more superior than us? is there any diff at all?? no. other than the fact tt they hav lots of stake in our economy and they are currently leading in the currency value.

    ok now i feel much better. i jus nd authorities to tell me tt this will change. but of course i dun want anyone to get hurt for some stupid event that was initiated by some person who was acting a fool at tt pt in time.

  • aiya now damn stressed.

    i dunno why but then everything seems so important and its as if everything's crashing down on me at once.

    first, nationals results weren't that good (well at least to me it seems), and now there's so much stuff i nd to do but im seriously struggling and as a result ive been feeling rather low these few days. having so much 'stomachaches' due to high stress load. i can still breathe but i cant sleep well at night anymore, worrying abt everything-- jap, sch, piano, and all the things ive been neglecting.

    gah, must relax!! relax!! arh that song's coming back to my head. the 'dun stress' song by dunno-who. i jus cant seem to rmb the singers. tt song's so stressful to hear... gosh.

    anw i saw my coach today at the supermarket. he was in rather high spirits la could see. his stresses are off him now that the comps are over. but mine's jus begun. sad life. anw he talked tomy dad and apparently he lives nearby too. and his wife teaches jap and chi? my mom said why dun i go and bai4 ta1 lao3 po2 wei2 shi1 so she could coach me in jap since my jap's seriously dead. i made up some excuse and said like 'but she's pregnant. so arh, she will jus suffer a miscarriage if she ever teaches me.' lol i totally crapped tt out at tt time man. not bad rite. hahaha. one gd thing this wk, finally. (:

    all rite, gtg now. got lots of stuff to do. now my sensei wants us to submit a letter of apology and this time must be from our parents. though she put up on the web tt the deadline is 20th tmr? she sent tt 'command' yesterday la.

    alrite enough. must be disciplined!! i lack tt. arh.. ok cya. bye. (:

  • i think the sec 3s are obnoxious!! why why why?? so rude. here i am offering an opportunity for you to earn a rep pt for ur leaps and a once-in-a-blue-moon experience, and u say, 'oh i hav bio chem and math on fri so sry cant go.'

    hey i was supposed to PICK u, not u decline me, all right. i was kind enough to let u hav the freedom. yeah, amd u jus acted like it was no big deal roll roll roll ur eyes and with 'im out..' u left with tt swagger.

    all right maybe im being sensitive here, but i cant help it. i feel hurt when ppl dun appreciate wad ive done. the hard work ive put in, the hours of sketching and coming up with a design. making it funny and all. and u, another one, gave tt halfhearted monosyllabic laugh with half ur upper lip lifted up in mockery and disgust.

    ok im being so pessimistic again. better change!! :(

    i must say tt im really grateful for the sec 2s for so kindl and enthu-ly agreeing to model for be-urself-day. thx u guys. u all were really cute. and i mean it really. (:

    today my new t i/c made a comment on how i was unlucky to have a guy's hands. i want to say tt im proud of my beautiful hands, and tt my hands are big for a purpose.

    all right, gtg now. mom calling for dinner. b!
